The manual does not make much sense when it comes to MGS failover. Manual:
Note – The MGS does not use the --failnode option. You need to set the command on all other nodes of the filesystem (servers and clients), about the failover options for the MGS. Use the --mgsnode parameter on servers and mount address for clients. The servers need to contact the MGS for configuration information; they cannot query the MGS about the failover partner. This does not make any sense at all, other than you can't use -- failnode and that clients can't check with two different hosts for MGS data. Our MGS will be on its own LUN setup with heartbeat between two nodes that are also working as an MDS pair. While Heartbeat takes care of mounting the MGS file system, how can we tell clients "if mds1 is down use mds2 for MGS data" Thanks. I hope that makes sense.
